dc.description.abstractAttention to nutrition during all phases of child and adolescent development is necessary to ensure healthy physical growth and to protect investments made earlier in life. Leveraging school meals programs as platforms to scale-up nutrition interventions is relevant as programs function in nearly every country in the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a large-scale school meals program in Ghana on school-age children's anthropometry indicators.
